Kava AI aims to guarantees tight data protections while feeding every user prompt through a community-governed blockchain.
Kava announced a significant upgrade for Kava AI, integrating a powerful and fully decentralised implementation of DeepSeek AI.
Kava AI aims to make crypto intuitive for users, harnessing open-source intelligence which makes Web3 interactions a straightforward matter. The AI’s three-pronged architecture unifies cutting-edge intelligence with seamless on-chain execution.
AI dApps & Agents turn casual prompts such as “Swap my coins” or “Deploy my NFT” into precise blockchain instructions. These agents derive their brainpower from open-source large language models like deModels.
Completing the stack is dePIN infrastructure that handles the compute muscle needed to handle large-scale AI requests with resilience and censorship resistance. By weaving these layers together, Kava AI aims to create a new standard of frictionless blockchain automation.
“We’ve spent years building the rails for cross-chain finance, but it’s meaningless if people can’t use it without a manual in one hand and a thousand tabs open,” said Scott Stuart, Co-Founder of Kava. “Kava AI changes the game. Instead of wrestling with a half-dozen apps, you just say what you want—‘Move my tokens to another chain,’ or ‘Help me swap for a stablecoin’—and the AI handles the nitty-gritty behind the scenes. No friction, no confusion, and no worrying about foreign data centers combing through your personal info.”
Bloomberg Intelligence has projected a total of $1.3 trillion in global AI spending by 2032, while decentralised finance has already accumulated tens of billions in locked value.
“Yes, Kava AI tackles everyday crypto headaches, but there’s a bigger principle at play which is shared ownership and open innovation,” said Scott Stuart, Co-Founder at Kava. “Instead of relying on any one corporation’s agenda, we’re inviting the entire community to help shape how AI evolves. By opening up the training, auditing, and iteration of large language models, we’re working toward a future where user interests, not pure profit motives, define the next generation of decentralised intelligence.”
The team behind Kava sees the launch of Kava AI as the starting point for a 2025 roadmap designed to push deAI far beyond its current limits. The team has already released a deAI Lightpaper, charting how distributed HPC and “frontier-scale” training can elevate DeepSeek, and Oros, an Agent Layer platform that lets users execute even more complex cross-chain moves using everyday language.
